Robert Michael Bernstein

Almost two years ago, I heard a knock at the door that no person ever wants to hear - a search warrant from a federal agency. I had an inkling as to why they were there and quickly went into panic mode. To add fuel to the fire, my entire family was home at the time. The feds left with many of my pers...onal items and their questions left my family and neighbors wondering if they really knew me. I quickly met several lawyers, with Robert being the first. Each lawyer thereafter asked me if I had met any lawyer before meeting with them and I always told them. Every lawyer that I met said nothing but good things about Robert when I mentioned that I had spoken to him. Because I had not been charged with anything and there was a chance that I might not be charged at all, I ended up hiring another lawyer who told me that he could get me off on a light misdemeanor and boy was that a mistake. Last summer, almost 15 months after the feds raided my house, the cops blindsided me with an arrest warrant. The lawyer who I hired did nothing on the case and actually lied. He hooked me up with this skeezer bail bondman who wanted more money and held the threat of going back to jail. I knew I was in trouble and called Robert. He took over my case two days before my arraignment. The charges were actually more serious than I expected, but after weeks of negotiations and mitigation, the sentence was light. I was sentenced to 60 days in county jail but was out in three days on a serious felony. I still have several obstacles to overcome and stay out of trouble, but I still have my career and people do not know about my legal woe. I trusted Robert's instinct and appreciated that he was accessible. The first person I called when I got out of jail was Robert.

I hired Criminal Attorney Robert Bernstein to represent my son in a federal criminal case. Robert is an amazing lawyer and just a wonderful person. The time and effort he put into the case was extraordinary. He was always available to answer our questions and calm our nerves. We cannot thank him enou...gh for what he did for our son and our entire family. If you were to find yourself involved in a criminal case he is the one person to call.

I hired Robert to defend me against federal criminal charges in Los Angeles after already having a prior attorney who did nothing on my behalf. Robert's knowledge of the federal legal system was invaluable in achieving such a great result and keeping me out of prison. I cannot recommended him highly ...enough as a lawyer and a great person. Thanks again for everything you did for myself and my family!

I had no idea that I was being investigated by Federal Law Enforcement Agents when I was arrested for tax evasion, bank fraud, securities violation, and theft. Apparently they had been watching me for years. To say I was overwhelmed by the charges would be putting it lightly. I was facing over 10 ...years in Federal Prison – my entire life was crumbling. I hired Mr. Bernstein because he was the only lawyer I spoke to who was actually knowledgeable about all of the charges I was facing. He has years of experience in the Federal Court criminal justice system, whereas other lawyers I spoke to only knew the State Court’s justice system. I was sentenced to probation with home confinement, so I was still able to work from home and support my family. I wasn’t expecting such an extraordinary outcome to my case – thanks for everything Mr. Bernstein!
